Here you will enter through the Magnesia Gate and begin a slow, downhill walk with your guide into the ruins of this Roman provincial capital. Your route takes you past the Odeum, the Celsus Library, the Temple of Hadrian, the Fountain of Trajan and the Great Theater. The tour then moves on to the House of Virgin Mary, which the Vatican has officially recognized as the final resting place of the Virgin Mary. A small shrine dedicated to St. Mary was found when the ruins of this house in the Solmissos Mountains was first discovered.

Booked a private tour of Ephesus for two people. The driver Oken arrived on time and was very friendly. He gave us a lot of detail and background on the area on our drive to Ephesus where we met our amazing tour guide Metin! The entire experience was amazing and tailored to exactly what we wanted to see. We also got to taste some local/traditional food which was really good. Overal Oken and Metin were an amazing combination and made our experience worth while! I recommend asking for them when you book
